OPAP said it is making significant progress on the implementation of its technology strategy and the necessary technological improvements in its retail network and digital environment.

“For the implementation of the 2020 Vision, OPAP conducted a technology strategy review in 2016 and launched a broad transformation project in 2017, aiming at securing modern, best-in-class solutions for all existing activities, and as the foundation for future strategies.”

Having successfully introduced Virtual Games and SSBTs during 2017, OPAP is now in the process of launching Playtech BGT Sports Live sports betting solution for OPAP agencies network.

Also, the company is on track to deliver its new Betgenius sports betting platform in the first quarter of 2018.

“OPAP is proceeding with its investment of more than 100 million Euros over the next few years. In parallel, OPAP has created more than 200 new direct job positions in Greece in 2017 that support the implementation of its plans, while generating additional hundreds indirect job opportunities in the country through its operations,” OPAP CEO Damian Cope said.
